home

where i grew up was far from the suburbs or any "master-planned community." I grew up right smack in the middle of Memphis, probably not, actually definately not the best neighborhood. This influenced the way i am very much so. The kids i grew up with were a little more street wise than most of those from the suburbs. For example out of the 5 of us 2 are dead, 1 is in prison, and then me and rick are the only two doing alright. There was no "corporate monster" schemeing beneath our society, unless it was the police. All of our homes were owned or atleast partly owned by the family that lived in it, not by someone with a rather large wallet, own built identical houses for us to live in. Each house was unique and different in every way from the way it looked, to the way it smelt, to the culture or lifestyle of the family or families that lived in them. There was a little more to be cautious about in my neighborhood, more so than a typical suburb atleast

memphis

I choose to draw the memphis bridge with the pyramid in the background because whenever someone says home the first thing that pops into my head is "MEMPHIS." Most people picture their house, but ive live in about 8 or 9 different houses in memphis throughout my life, excluding three other houses that ive lived in 2 in idaho and one in new orleans. But to me memphis is my home, my place of upbringing and where i basically had all the fun of my life up until college. Most of my friends and all of my family lives there. I consider all of memphis my home, including past north and south parkway, westwood, and orange mound mainly because they all play into what makes memphis what it is, a beautiful city with some fairly rough edges. Memphis is my home because i believe it has played a fundamental role in who I am, probably more so than any other influence.

People with bettere looking bodies are ussually more fit and often healthier, which naturally attracts others like them to want to mate with them, which is inerpretted as being attracted to one another. examples: jessica alba,

If i ccould be a woman for one day, i would probabaly have the urge to go shopping, maybe play a series of tricks on my family or people who knew me. I would visit and freak out my girlfriend. Honestly, i would rather not be a woman fo rone day, because i would have no clue what to do as a woman.

The audience of this particular ad is the group of people who were going to vote in this past election.
The tone of the text is aggressive because campaigning most ussually takes ana ggressive stance.
The text is trying to persuade the audience to vote for the person whose name is on the bumper sticker.
The Bush, Cheney ad uses ethos in appealing those who are patriotic by putting an American flag next to their names.
The purpose of the text is to try and persuade the voting class to vote for whomever's name is on that particular bumper sticker.
Personally, i do not find the text rhetorically effective, but it does get the name of the person running out in the open for viewers to see and posibly contemplate voting for them. This is somewhat effective because it makes you think about the person you are gonna vote for.
